Pile fabric and method of making same



ing the runs of inlay thread between the adjacent rows of warp chains and extending up between the adjacent runs of inlay thread to form piles and a base sheet secured to the back or underface of the aforesaid structure by means of a suitable cement.

5. The method of manufacturing pile fabric which comprises knitting parallel rows of Warp chains, cross-connecting the' same by inlaid thread, placing pile-loop threads between adjacent rows of warp chains and under the cross runs of the inlay thread and looping the pileloop threads through between adjacent runs of inlay thread.

6. The method of manufacturing pile fabric which comprises knitting parallel rows of warp chains, cross-connecting the same by inlaid thread, placing pile-loop threads between adjacent rows of warp chains and under the inlay thread and looping the pile-loopthreads through between adjacent runs of inlay thread, and cutting the pile-loop to leave the piles.

'7. 'Ihe method of manufacturing pile fabric which comprises knitting parallel rows of warp chains, cross-connecting the same by inlaid thread, placing pile-loop threads between adjacent 'rows of warp chains and under the inlay thread and looping the pile-loop threads through between adjacent runs of inlay thread, and retaining the pile-loop threads in place by drawing the warp chains and inlay thread tight.

8.

9. The method of manufacturing pile fabric which comprises knitting parallel rows of warp chains, cross-connecting the same by inlaid thread, placing pile-loop threads between adjacent rows of warp chains and under the inlay thread and looping the pile-loop threads through between adjacent runs of inlay thread and giving the back of the fabric a coat of cementitious material.

10. 'I'he method of manufacturing pile fabric v lwhich comprises knitting parallel rows of warp chains, cross-connecting the same by inlaid thread, placing pile-loop threads between adjacent rows of warp chains and under the inlay thread and looping the pile-loop threads through between adjacent runs of inlay threadand se- .curing to the aforesaid structure a suitable backing sheet. v

11. The method of manufacturing pile fabric which comprises knitting parallel rows of warpchains, cross-connecting the same by inlaid thread, placing pile-loop threads between adja# cent rows of warp chains and under the inlay thread and looping the pile-loop threads' through between adjacent runs of inlay thread and giving the back of the fabric a coat of cementitious material and securing to the aforesaid structure i. suitable backing sheet.

12. A knit pile fabric comprising a plurality of rows of cross-connected warp chains, combined with pile threads lying between adjacent warprchains and underlying the cross-connecting threads and extending up between adjacent cross-connecting threads to form piles.

13. A knit pile fabric comprising rows of chain loops cross-connected by threads running from chain to chain, and pile threads underlying the cross-connecting threads and looped through spaces between the chains and the cro'ss-connecting threads thereby forming pile loops on one side of the fabric. A,

14. A knit pile fabriccomprising rows of chain loops cross-connected by threads running from chain to chain, pile threads underlying the crossconnecting threads and looped through spaces between the chains and the cross-connecting threads thereby forming pile loops on one side of the fabric, and means on the face of the fabric opposite` said one side to secure the pile threads and the chains together.

15. The method of manufacturing pile fabric which comprises knitting parallel rows of Warp chains, cross-connecting the same by inlaid thread, placing pile-loop threads between adjacent rows of warp chains and under the cross runs of the inlay thread and looping the pileloop threads through spaces between the adjacent runs of inlay thread to leave pile loops on one facev of the fabric, the loops lying in rows between and parallel to the warp chains.

16. The method of manufacturing a pile fabric, which comprises knitting cross-connected wales, placing pile-loop threads between adjacent wales and under the runs of cross-connecting threads and looping the pile-loop threads through between adjacent runs of cross-connecting threads.

17. A knit pile fabric comprising a plurality of cross-connected wales, combined with pile threads lying between adjacent wales and underlying the cross-connecting threads and extending up between adjacent cross-connecting threads to form piles.
